. shape to be received into such shell and from which the cream can be quickly and easily :ejected. I accomplish this ob 'ect by the dipper described herein and illustrated in the accompany'n drawings, in which- Figure-1 is a side elevation of my improved dipper. Fig. 2 is a' lan of the same. Fig. 3 is a section on the inc 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4. is an end elevation the cream therefrom. In the drawin s the'bowl of the dipper is divided vertical y and longitudinally into two almost equal parts or sections 6 and 6, which together form a hollow cone. Section 6 is provided with a shank 7, to which the handle 8 is secured."- Section 6 is rovided with a shank 9, which passes through lugs 10and11, secured to shank 7, and is revoluble in said lugs and terminates piece to separate section 6 projects below the end of section 6, and passing through this projecting end is in an upwardly-projecting thumb-piece 12, by means of which shank 9 is rotated. A spring 13 is coiled around shank-9 between lugs wand 11 and has one end secured to shank 7 and the other end secured to shank 9, so that when the operator moves the thumbthe sections of the dipper, as shown in Fig. 4, and removes pressure therefrom the spring-will return the section l to its closed position. Section 6 is a little shorter than section 6, and the lower end of the shank 14 of the scra er-blade 15, which 'blade is bent at an ang e to the shank, so that when the shank is revolved the scraperblade will scrape along. the inside of the i howing the dipper open dipper and cut loose therefrom any cream that may have a tendency to adhere thereto. The outer-end of the shank is provided with a finger-piece 16, by means of which the scraper can be rotated.

The bowl 'of the dipper may be of a different shape than that shown in the drawings,

if desired, and preferably is of a size to contain enough cream to fill a cornucopia.-

' Theoperator first fills the rotates the scraper so as to pass it entirely around the inside of the bowl and leave it dipper and then resting against section 6, preferably as shown in Fig. 3. He then with the thumb v I of the hand which grasps the handle presses 1 upon the thumb-piece 12 and brings it over v -u on shank 7, which to the position shown in Fig. 4,-whereupon:

causes section 6 to open the cream drops out into the cornucopia held in the other hand or in a suitable re c'eptacle.
